| Plums |
 Title text: My icebox plum trap easily captured William Carlos Williams. It took much less work than the infinite looping network of diverging paths I had to build in that yellow wood to ensnare Robert Frost. |

Referencing William Carlos Williams "This is Just To Say", an apology for eating the plums. 2600:1001:B000:6009:F81B:2869:73B7:339 03:31, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
Robert Frost is my first cousin five times removed. Pgn674 (talk) 03:36, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
You could easily trap Edgar Allan Poe by training a crow. Xkdvd (talk) 05:07, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
I just described the scene in the transcript, it doesn't look quite right to me, I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be brackets or something, could someone fix that if I did it wrong? Xkdvd (talk) 05:12, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
The characterization of the poem as an apology needs an [actual citation needed] tag. 2001:8004:4E50:6B3:A564:E93B:1878:3634 06:00, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- The words "forgive me" aren't good enough for you? 174.127.214.79 06:46, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
Seems pretty simple. Eat the plums for the cred, and then book reservations for a romantic breakfast the next morning. 73.42.229.109 06:22, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- Might just make things more awkward if the trapper is just a roommate. 82.13.184.33 09:10, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
Could the caption style also be a reference to the poem? New editor (talk) 07:08, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
It would be much more difficult that Robert Frost if one is to follow Gulzaar's "Is Mod se" Mitradranirban (talk) Add comment
